Author: Ian Harris

Operating from Stratford upon Avon, the Stratfordian/Ian Frederick Harris paints from his studio (shed) at the bottom of the garden where the rest of the gnomes, elves and fairy's dwell in an effort to escape the world's Orcs. On This website you will find his artwork, his short stories and everything else he uses to prove he exists. Oh yes...of course...I'd almost forgotten...then there's his opinions...

About me.

a photograph of the artist

My work is a reflection on what moves me. By that, I mean my reaction to news stories, politics and general goings on in the world. I will admit at the moment I appear driven to put brush (or whatever) to canvas, by things that make me angry.

However,

Sometimes I like to think that my work carries an element of hope, but to be honest that is getting more difficult as my vision of the world darkens (thank you America).

BUT…

All is not lost. I refuse to give up. Now and again, I will discover a spark that lights the way and changes things (temporarily) for the better. (I know, I am a miserable bastard-forgive me).
